Picture Of A Man Lyrics & Chords By Our Lady J

You take a Picture of A Man And you tell me this is what healthy looks like Once a day will soothe my going Once a day will make it alright You take a Picture of A Man And you tell me this is what I look like Forget about my going Forget what this feels like But it is here among the dead That I find life It is here in the ashes That I find where I am going It is here and it is simple And it is old and it is right It is here that I find This is what living feels like You take a picture of a man And you burden him with false pretension You need him to boost your economy You need him to fire your artillery You take this picture of a man And you tell him this is what he looks like So he will be your riding horse So he will fight your muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin dirty, muthafuckin wars So it is here among the dead That I find life And It is here in the ashes That I find where I am going It is here and it is simple And it is old and it is right It is here that I find This is what living feels like And maybe I need to feel this way To feel death is coming closer Maybe it keeps me from chasin' other people's dreams Those are the dreams that hold life over Maybe I need to try to stay in touch with my own mortality Maybe it keeps me aligned with everything I need to be Maybe it keeps me from runnin', keeps me from livin' a lie Don't you know I try to stay honest, every day I try to die Why, why do you pretend that perfection is something that you can attain You'll never be at ease if you think there's always something more to gain Put down your fantasies, check it out, this may be what it's like to be Free, free, free. Yes, it's here among the dead That I find life And it's here in the ashes That I find where I am going And it is here and it is simple And it is old and it is right It is here that I find This is what living feels like (Backing Singers during 2) Pose, slick, strong on the floor, hittin' Pose, slick, strong, uh once more, givin' Work it, serve it, cut it on the line, watch it Work it, serve it, pump it one more time, get it Slide, check, spend on the dime Never notice that you're wastin' all your time Working, fighting, living for the government, never stop Pose, slick, strong on the floor, hittin' Pose, slick, strong, uh once more, givin'.
